"100 % Falanghina. Grapes are harvested in the first two weeks of October. The must is settled and then fermented at cool temperatures using selected yeasts. The wine is aged on its lees in stainless steel but sees no oak. Medium yellow colour with greenish reflections, it has rich and intense

Vinous Media 91 "Deep, gold-tinged yellow. Minty herbs complicate tropical fruit and caramel on the nose and tactile palate. Finishes rich and savory. This strikes me as much more precise and focused than the Terra degli Angeli Greco di Tufo of the same vintage."~A.G. James Suckling 90 "A rich,

James Suckling 92 "Subtle aromas of dried peaches and lemons follow through to a full body and lots of fruit, but there's a tangy, electric, vibrant finish of edgy acidity. Excellent. One of the best Falanghinas out there. Drink now." "100 % Falanghina. Grapes are harvested in the first two

Wine Advocate 93 "The 2004 Taurasi Riserva Campore is the houses top selection. I actually liked it the least among these sublime 2004s although admittedly that is a small point at this level. This is a big, massively concentrated Taurasi packed with dark fruit, menthol, spices and licorice. The

Wine Advocate 89 "The 2010 Greco di Tufo Loggia della Serra virtually explodes on the palate with layers of pointed fruit. Jasmine, crushed rocks and lime are some of the nuances that emerge from this beautifully sculpted, precise white. The elegant finish is first-class all the way. Anticipated

"A wine to be tasted with all 5 senses! A salmon pink hue, with radiant highlights and incredible youth. An intense, rich, bewitching bouquet of red fruit and citrus zest associated with more complex notes redolent of cedar and spring sap. The aromas evolve gently in the glass evolving from

James Suckling 93"Wow. This must be the best falanghina in Italy with sliced grapefruit, minerals and lemons on then sliced oranges. Full body plus bright and minerally character and a very flavorful finish."~J.S.
